PRODUCT SHOWCASE High-Resolution USB Oscilloscope, Spectrum Analyser and Signal Generator A new USB oscilloscope, spectrum analyser and signal generator from Virtins Technology has a variable effective bit resolution from 10 to 16, a maximum sampling rate of 200MHz, an analog bandwidth of 80MHz, and an anti-aliasing filter which adjusts to the selected sampling rate automatically. Its DAC has a 12-bit resolution, a maximum sampling rate of 200MHz and an analog bandwidth of 60MHz. Besides its normal mode, the ADC and DAC support streaming mode at up to 10M bytes/s, making full use of the PC resources and computing power to achieve a virtually unlimited memory depth. All instruments work simultaneously and thus the unit is very handy for characterising a device under test – eg, the frequency response of an audio amplifier. The accompanying software, Multi-Instrument, can be downloaded for a 21day fully functional free trial with a PC sound card.

It is an ideal platform for developing a p - plications that require a full-featured user interface, including touch-screen capability and a broad array of connectivity options. Powerful enough to drive a full graphical display for a user interface, the kit includes a broad set of industrial communications protocols and interfaces (dual gigabit Ethernet, DDR3L, camera and capacitive touch-screen LCD). It offers an array of onboard features which allows experienced and novice designers alike to focus on product differentiation such as advanced graphics and connectivity. At speeds up to 1GHz, the AM437x StartContact: er Kit accelerates designs with a ready-forelement14 production hardware and software plat72 Ferndell St, Chester Hill NSW 2162 form.

TENDZONE has a range of digital network audio products that will change the way you think about digital audio processing, making design and implementation simpler and much more cost effective. From a single room to a stadium Tendzone offers the widest range of solutions to simplify day-to-day operation and ensure things work as intended. Their range of remote panels and customisable siliconchip.com.au software simplify controls, together with their experience, can help you integrate their processors into your existing systems and improve quality and reliability. New 100W Wideband 8-Way Splitter/Combiner Mini-Circuits’ new ZN8PD-362HP+ 600 to 3600MHz 8-way 0° splitter/combiner provides power handling up to 100W as a splitter with 1.0dB typical insertion loss (above 9.0dB theoretical loss). The combination of high power handling and low loss minimises power dissipation due to intrinsic losses, making it suitable for many high-power signal distribution applications where low loss is a requirement.   The ZN8PD-362HP+ provides 23dB isolation, 0.35dB amplitude unbalance and 4° phase unbalance. It also achieves good VSWR of 1.15:1 (ports 1-8) and is capable of passing up to 1.2A DC (150mA each port) from input to output, supporting systems where DC power is needed. The splitter combiner is housed in a rugged, aluminum alloy case (205 x 82 x 60.5mm) with your choice of SMA or N-Type connectors and an optional heatsink.
